I'm not arguing that Modern needs a functional FoW (perhaps it does, I don't know), but I do know that your explanation of why U shouldn't get one makes no sense. Some colors are better at others at...

I essentially agree that one of the fundamental flaws is that there's no "check" cards like Wasteland and FoW in the format. Some sort of generic non-basic hate in between Ghost Quarter/Tec Edge and...
Does anyone get the thought that statements that you oft hear such as, "Ponder and Preordain are too good" and Chapin's "Ban Serum Visions and Sleight of Hand" mean the format is just effed up? When...
I don't understand what you're trying to say in your post. You're saying that you didn't read anything having to do with Modern in the article?
Chapin's thoughts on Modern will be posted tomorrow on SCG. I can't link to the article yet. :rolleyes:
EDIT: Chapin on Modern (Premium)
For those of you who don't have SCG Premium, will post a few statements from what the pros think (if it isn't okay to post these snippets, I can edit the post away):
"Modern looks like a diverse...
You haven't thought about that enough. Bloodbraid Elf and GSZ are terrible in the same deck, and it's not close. People tried Jund at the first Modern PT, and none played GSZ for obvious reasons,...
No one can type in www.starcitygames.com and www.channelfireball.com and find them for themselves?

Carrie Oliver on Modern
Within the last week, two of SCG's best writers (Sam Black and Brian Kibler), as well as Carrie Oliver from CFB have written articles about the poor state of Modern, the lack of identity in the...
To me, it does. I've repeatedly stated it's my opinion - relax. People play the game for all different reasons, and I was stating mine. I'm going to leave it at that, as this is a Banned List...
Yeah, perhaps the word is vague to those not in my head. I mostly just mean that when I see those decks, they feel unique to me, like they're doing special things no other deck does - they feel...
I've played the format extensively - I have (or have had depending on the list) a very large # of the decks built on MODO, including RUG & UWR Delver, UW Tron, Storm, Loam, Tezzerator, Soul Sisters,...
No need to get so fired up. Perhaps I should rephrase:
When I look at the top decks, or even popular decks in Legacy, there are a very large number of decks that have incredible identity to them....
I have a bunch of fundamental gripes about the Modern format that mostly revolve around the banned list:
1. I think if you have to ban cards like Ponder/Preordain, Wild Nacatl, GSZ, and perhaps...
